Team IMPACT matches children facing serious illness and disability with college sports teams, creating a long-term, life-changing experience for everyone involved.
On April 11, we’ll come together to celebrate our mission, vision and the community that helps bring it to life.
Team IMPACT CEO Krissie Kelleher was joined by Rylan, a now graduate Team IMPACT teammate, matched with UCONN men’s basketball, and his former teammate and current best friend, Mamadou Diarra.
Help your child experience the power of sports, the simple joy of being a kid, and the support of a team that will embrace your whole family as their own.
Rally as a team to make a difference for a child and their family while turning your athletes into more empathetic, compassionate leaders.

Gaven and Syracuse Men's Lacrosse
This relationship has meant so much to not only Gaven, but Mark and I as well. Gaven gained so many older brothers to look out for him and take care of him, and Mark and I gained that many sons and we are sad to see everyone go. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making last weekend so special for all of us.
Clinical Social Worker, Pediatric Hem/Onc, Hasbro Children's Hospital
Team IMPACT has provided my kids the opportunity to make meaningful relationships, during a time in which treatment has isolated them from their peers. Through these incredibly powerful relationships between the child and the team, I have seen the positive mindset, confidence, and self-advocacy skills grow.
Make an IMPACT by helping children of all abilities and their families get out of the hospital and in the game so kids and teams alike can bond, grow, and win TOGETHER.
Help support our mission and make sure every child benefits from the power of team.
